Add weather and clock scripts. Closes #7. #11

Closed Pitasi closed 5 years ago

Pitasi commented 5 years ago

Weather is using http://wttr.in/ as a provider for forecasts.

Clock has a 'list' subcommand to view available timezones (naming is roughly Continent/City but there are some exceptions and spaces must be replaced by underscores - e.g. America/Los_Angeles).

@Pitasi Thanks for this PR. You are missing the README entries though. Also, it looks like timedatectl is not pre-installed on Unix machines. It's not available on my Mac either.

Is there an easy way to install timedatectl? Also, can we use a more universal solution like this?

Pitasi commented 5 years ago

Yeah sorry, I wasn't thinking about OSX.

timedatectl is part of systemd so it should be basically available in every Linux installation.

Googling around I found an equivalent command for OSX: systemsetup -listtimezones, I cannot try it though. Using ls should be universal but it's a bit of a mess checking which paths are available and then composing them like Europe/Madrid, also there many "fake" timezones like GMT+0 or GMT-0.

@Pitasi Sorry I couldn't get around to working on this PR. It seems like @missingcharacter has done it though, and it works great #17. I hope you don't mind me merging that PR instead. I will make sure to keep your commits.
